Narrative

We had a coal bin fire and were in the process of dumping the coal into loader buckets for disposal. The injured party was opening a dump valve when a small piece of floor grating shifted and allowed the employee to fall through to the ground below. The employee sustained a laceration to his head approximately 2 inches long requiring 10 stitches.
